Long overdue
Those children are going to be brilliant at self-awareness.
Didums.
People like this already live in a bubble. If she can already afford £5k+ a year in fees then she can afford an additional 20%. The thing is she doesn't want to, because it means having to cut back on something. Anything. She has no fecking idea that there's millions of people in this country that have nothing left to cut back on. She has zero clue of what life is like for the majority of people who have already given the shirts off of their backs and then some. Her idea of poverty is not having a subscription to Amazon Prime.
I'm just assuming because, feck it, it's the same assumptions folk make about what being "poor" is.
She falls into the same category as that guy on Question Time a few years ago who was adimient his £80k salary was below average and no where near the top 50%, let alone the top 5%. Absolutely clueless about the real world.
fcuk her. Her kids. And the horse they rode in on.
Pardon me while they have to scrimp and scrape, farting out a grand of cost savings from their Waitrose or wine bill.
Delusional cnuts
Put yourself in the shoes of someone who's middle class for a change.
It's bizarre the way that Liz and Kwasi are being drip fed back into the public consciousness; testing the waters to see how the public respond. It's like trying to slowly reintroduce a convicted paedophile gang into your babysitting circle and watching for the parents to baulk. We may be a completely amoral nation of racist, venal, self serving cnuts but even we have limits. It's the lettuce wot won it.
Have they tried buying cheaper brands of beans?
No. But they are eating Turnips for breakfast, lunch and tea.
It's ok, you're allowed to call it the "Prince Andrew Strategy" if you want.
The Government are allowing business to 'profiteer' in order to make up for the (apparent) losses suffered under Covid.... it is nothing really to do with Ukraine (although that doesn't help) etc. but that gives them 'extra cover' with the public, with luxury goods you can make choices, with staples like food, energy, house costs etc you can't.
TBH cannot see it getting much better if Labour got in, the 'rot has set in' and it goes deep!
Weird how there's always money available to help big businesses but never for poor people. That magic money tree really is special.
What's this?
Agree with this.
I am a naturally positive person and tend to 'always look on the bright side of life'...
Having said that, there is not much to be positive about at the moment.
As you say, COVID and the war in Ukraine are being used as an excuse for everything. Especially by the government.
But it is blindingly obvious that the current high inflation, high interest rates and cost of living crisis is affecting the UK much more than the rest of our competitors, especially in Europe. And as we all understand, Brexit is having a major effect.
Nevertheless, these high prices are going to be with us and we will not see them back down to those before. That is for sure.
A really shit reference to the fact that May was vehemently opposed to any notion of cannabis reform (which all front bench MPs seem to be these days), whilst her husband was/is the largest investor in medical marijuana in thE UK. To the point where I think the UK actually exports the most medical marijuana in the world, of which May is a major beneficiary.
She's more of a bitch than I thought
Breaking ministerial codes seem to be of fairly regular occurrences right now. Thought Sunak was going to stop the rot.
Breaching the ministerial code and/or breaking the law is a badge of honour for these cnuts.
Rumbled in the cubicle racking up a fat one.
Always love the candid snaps of the chaps in charge in their less composed moments. My favourite is the cheeky snap of Eichmann almost fumbling a zyklon b canister as he trips on a child's skull.
Right fecking lads. Hilarious meme potential.

Oh this’ll be fun!
Interesting because their go to excuse is always that they're following the 'independent' review body's recommendations.....
Absolutely!
I also love how an article about it notes the government lying about how nationally the 4.5% offer was fully funded (it wasn’t) but that some schools on an individual level wouldn’t have the cash for it!
If it’s nationally funded then EVERY school in the nation has funding for it you feckers!
This will guarantee new waves of strike action.
They have destroyed almost every single public service in this country. I genuinely can't think of a single one that isn't actively worse than it was 13 years ago.
Aye, and they have done so deliberately for ideological reasons.
Has to be one of the weakest PMs in history.
Sunak is no better than a bad salesman.
Maybe some community of European economies, to pool resources and create an economic superpower. A Union of some sort
Can somebody just think of the children?
Based on her previous, that's actually pretty impressive by her standards.
"If I do feel scared I deliberately challenge myself not to feel scared."
"Tyrrells crisps are one of the top sellers in France. I don't know if you've tasted crisps in other countries, but I really think British crisps are world leaders. I went to China and they told me there is only one type of potato available there."
"In London the average person is paying 50 per cent of their income on rent. Just think how much better off people would feel if that number was a lot lower."
"I was Margaret Thatcher in the school election during the 1983 General Election."
"We're trendsetters, first to welcome brilliant inventions into our lives, from the microwave meal to Instagram. Britain is a nation of Uber-riding, Deliveroo-eating, Airbnb-ing freedom fighters."
"The British brand is so popular particularly in the US that they put the union jack flag on top of beer bottles because it sells."
"I want people to buy British because it's the tastiest food and the most exciting food."
"I have to admit I don't like pizza. I love it. And I am prepared to do literally anything to get my hands on a slice."
And, of course, PORK MARKETS *grin*
She has been saying this for months. Someone has to have pointed this out to her by now.
I mean in fairness to her (and I hate to give her even the slightest bit of credit) she was a remainer. She's ended up having to push brexit as the tories have become more extreme but fundamentally she clearly also believed this. Probably the only sensible thing she's ever said.
On the subject of thick-as-pigshit Tory bastards...

I can't believe this speeding fine is even a thing. Are Labour that desperate?
There's plenty of serious things to have a go at Braverman for, but paying a speeding fine shouldn't even register.
